another couple youngsters to watch out for in a couple years is
english irish derby winner x irish yorkshire oaks winner
Name: Galileo’s Peep
Barn Name: Peep
Age: Weanling
Birthday: March 7
Gender: 2
Breed: Thoroughbred
Height: Projected to be 16.3 hh
Color: Chestnut
Genotype: ee/AA
Markings: Faint mark, right front coronet, left back stocking
Bloodlines: Galileo x Peeping Fawn by Danehill
Discipline: Turf racing
Distance: Projected to be anywhere between 8-12 furlongs
Temperament: He is an extremely curious colt who always want to explore new things. He has a high tolerance level and that is why he is Diva’s pasture mate. He also appears to have a real love to run which we believe will make him a fantastic racehorse.

4 times ascot gold cup winner x 3 times melbourne cup winner
Name: Yeat’s Diva
Barn Name: Diva
Birthday: February 28
Gender: Filly
Breed: Thoroughbred
Height: Projected to be 15.2 hh
Color: Liver Chestnut
Genotype: ee/AA
Markings: Irregular star
Bloodlines: Yeats x Makybe Diva by Dessert King
Discipline: Turf racing
Distance: Projected to be anywhere between 10-16 furlongs
Temperament: Well she certainly lives up to her name. While she doesn’t act wild like most of the other foals who act like they own the place she does like to strut her stuff. This has caused conflicts with her and Ouija before because feisty filly vs. a filly with a diva like personality doesn’t always go well together. So we started turning her loose with Peep instead. She is a good mannered filly who does love to run so we are hoping to get her to become a good racehorse and not bother her opponents too much.

2013 Derby Favorite "Mars" didn't take up his entry on Sunday at the Curragh, but has 2 entrys next week, at Leopardstown and Gowran Park.

Wow! That should be some horse!

It was confirmed that she gave birth to her third foal on the 20th of February 2010, according to the info I have, and she seems to have been named Filia Regina, not Galileo's Girl, according to Ed's website.

Maybe it will be different with a filly, but I don't get why they keep sending her to the sires that they do, given she has so much stamina on her side. The results so far, have just produced slow horses desperately in need of a trip, so I would have thought something like Dansili would have been a better pairing for the great racemare, but back to Galileo she went again last year.

Decent start for Afonso De Souza got bumped around early but came home strong to beat home fav George Vancouver into 3rd he was finishing best of all

better ground i think you will see a very smart 2yo in afonso

Greeness was showing in Afonso De Sousa but the Henrythenaviagtor colt half bro to Big Brown shud come on a ton 4 run and has a brightfuture

PJ, how confident would you be on the chances of Cristoforo Colombo in the Railway stakes? i'm pretty confident.

i am confident but pedro the great well backed too cris is the better of the 2 IMO

thanks pj

shocker didnt handle the ground was running on empty last half furlong
